The Washington Post reports “Police said evidence has linked 30-year-old John Albert Gardner III to both cases (this one and one in Colorado) but further details have not been released.”

Nancy Grace on HLN reports that the charges were filed before the body was found. The San Diego County Sheriff’s office explains that evidence was found linking John Albert Gardner to Chelsea King. Nancy Grace on HLN has a lively discussion on this where he’s described as a “30-year-old scumbag”.

Yikes!

This is shockingly like the case of Chandra Levy, who, like Chelsea King, went for a jog by herself in May 2001 in Washington DC and disappeared. The bottom line is that no one, male or female, should run alone in a secluded park. But in this case, it’s too late for that. This is sad, really sad, and awful.
